Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain. Within ...

Polymer electrolytes in lithium-metal batteries can still host dendrite growth deep inside, revealing a hidden failure mode ...

The brain has always been referred to as the super computer of the body. Millions of connections happen just to make a simple move like picking up a spoon or scratching an itch. The cerebral cortex is ...

Researchers have discovered how neurons in the brain might allow some experiences to be remembered while others are forgotten. Using a unique microscope, they peered into the brain of a living animal ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Neurons in the human brain receive electrical signals from thousands of other cells, and long neural extensions called dendrites play a critical role in incorporating all of that ...

Figure 1: Subcellular patch-clamp recording from dendrites and axons of CA3 pyramidal neurons. Figure 2: Action potentials backpropagate into the dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons with large ...

Lithium-metal batteries are among the most promising technologies for energy storage. They offer significantly more energy in ...

Dendrites – thin conductive filaments that form inside lithium batteries – reduce the life of these cells and are often responsible for them catching fire. Scientists working at the Pacific Northwest ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have learned the mechanisms behind a common type of failure in lithium-ion batteries caused by the formation and growth of “dendrites,” findings that could aid in ...
